Just as Yeli Helian's promotion had once again become stalled,
from within the shadow of a giant cage woven from branches, a man with a long knife at his waist stepped out.
The barefoot man wore black martial arts attire, his beard unkempt, and his appearance disheveled. A long scar ran across the corner of his eye, and a wildly inked "Knife" character was etched at his left eye corner.
Standing amidst the Star Sea, Yeli Helian glanced at the newcomer, one of his father, Lord Lidong's trusted servants, Dao Kui.
"Mr. Dongjun is looking for you," said Dao Kui in a relaxed tone, tossing a Light and Shadow Ball from his sleeve into the air.
A crack formed on the sphere, fracturing it and releasing a holographic image for long-distance communication.
Yeli Helian frowned slightly and looked up.
In the image, a young man appeared, sitting in a wheelchair, his grey-white hair messily covering his forehead, and his handsome face featured heterochromic eyes, one red, one blue.
